Timing chain tensioner gaskets and tensioner arms

New Shoes......
SO, we have been hearing a weird start up noise, and think we got it narrowed down to the right side Timing chain tensioner gaskets and tensioner arms as possible issues. Shes a 2000 F250 with 5.4 and over 285K miles. but have never tackled this before, I have not pulled the valve covers off yet to see if they are loose, but listened to a couple of utube videos that sounded the same way on start up, goes away after 1-2 seconds..

what do you guys think?

well, I dont think it was the case, the A/C clutch showed wear and the bearing was making more noise, so replaced the A/C clutch, as the bearing was shot.. no more noise
